Добро пожаловать на вторую неделю нашего курса! Эта неделя будет посвящена обзору методов секвенирования ДНК. Вы узнаете об истории развития этих технологий и принципах, на которых они основаны. <br>Welcome to the second week of the course! This week will be dedicated to Next Generation DNA Sequencing technologies. You will learn about the new methods development and main approaches that gave base to NGS.

Пятая неделя нашего курса посвящена выравниванию коротких фрагментов на референс - подходу, который используется при работе с уже изученными геномами. В лекциях разбираются наиболее популярные программы для решения таких задач, а также основные алгоритмы для работы со строками. <br>Fifth week of our course is devoted to short read alignment to the reference genome, which is used when we work with the already studied organisms. In lectures we will talk about the most popular software for solving such problems, as well as basic algorithms for working with strings.

It would be interesting if you add animated videos explaining the most difficult concepts, methods or principles, to facilitate the learner experience.

For example, I used this video to easily understand the Sanger method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M0PyxFPwkQ&t=91s)

I learnt a lot from this course! All lecturers are great and they explain difficult themes very well for the beginners but also offer interesting questions for advanced audience. I enjoyed the deceptive ease of DNA purification (I did it at my work too), comparison of sequencing technologies, and all algorithms and software described. I found all classes very helpful and would like to thank staff for this great, interesting and inspiriting lessons!
